Will you help? Or you need the world only for yourself! Then you needn't heed the warning bells, Sparrows are vanishing, so are squirrels, Water hens and coucals are almost gone But you don't need them you wannabe alone. It's such a small thing disappearance of a bird Tiger is vanishing, not far is leopard, It doesn't matter let your tribe grow Let them perish the thylacine and dodo. You can live alone so what for the howl, You need no drongo no nightjar no owl, Rhinos are butchered, gorillas only a few Not the wild ***** must survive is you. You must alone rule with tooth and claw Let them all go the eagles and macaw The otter, the cheetah and the polar bear You needn't think till they're there. Then when they go it'll be too late To know on their survival depends your fate Even the smallest one lends you their help But you needed the world only for yourself.

The World for Yourself
Will you help? Or you need the world only for yourself! Then you needn't heed the warning bells, Sparrows are vanishing, so are squirrels, Water hens and coucals are almost gone But you don't need them you wannabe alone. It's such a small thing disappearance of a bird Tiger is vanishing, not far is leopard, It doesn't matter let your tribe grow Let them perish the thylacine and dodo. You can live alone so what for the howl, You need no drongo no nightjar no owl, Rhinos are butchered, gorillas only a few Not the wild ***** must survive is you. You must alone rule with tooth and claw Let them all go the eagles and macaw The otter, the cheetah and the polar bear You needn't think till they're there. Then when they go it'll be too late To know on their survival depends your fate Even the smallest one lends you their help But you needed the world only for yourself.
